Two in critical condition after 'exposure to unknown substance'

A major incident has been declared in Wiltshire after it was suspected two people might have been exposed to an unknown substance in Amesbury.

The man and woman, both in their 40s, are in a critical condition at Salisbury District Hospital, Wiltshire Police said.

A number of places in the Amesbury and Salisbury area have been cordoned off as a precaution and the force said it was not yet clear if they were the victims of a crime, however detectives are keeping an “open mind” about the circumstances of the incident.

Public Health England (PHE) advised that it did not believe there to be a “significant health risk” to the wider public, although its advice was being reviewed.

The incident comes after former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, were left poisoned by a suspected military nerve agent in Salisbury, which is around eight miles from Amesbury, in March.
